Rating:  Summary: Madeleine Review: Dr. Modi provides multiple transcripts of clients describing their memories of creation that enable the reader to see for herself or himself the similarities between all the accounts. She writes clearly without endorsing one religion or belief above another. I could not put the book down. I found myself feeling spiritually uplifted.
Rating:  Summary: Possibly the most interesting book I have ever read Review: How many of us actually get a chance to know how God was created?This book not only reveals that, but also how Lucifer came to be, how he works, and what we can do about it. If you have never understood the "big picture" you will now, and your part in it. There is so much work for us to do, it is imperative for us to be about our Father's business. The day I finished the book, I ordered 4 copies for my sisters, brother, and a friend. I hope you will do the same. Ignorance is not bliss, we can heal ourselves, our friends and family and eventually the planet. I thought I understood the New Testament. Now I know exactly what Jesus meant when he said, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, heal the sick, raise the dead, and cast out demons." Dr. Modi is obedient to Christ's demand. After you read both of her books, this one and Remarkable Healings, you too, will understand how to do just that.
Rating:  Summary: The pitfalls of hypnosis Review: I am disappointed by the other reviews on this site. They are ignoring the single most striking thing in this book. They have failed to notice an elephant in the refrigerator. They peek behind the elephant in order to get a slice of American cheese, and they have failed to take stock of the elephant.This book says that nearly all of us are possessed by evil spirits who answer to Lucifer. One problem with hypnosis as a tool for uncovering hidden truths is that the hypnotist can lead the subject. The subject doesn't know if what he is seeing and reporting is true. It might be coming from the imagination. And any leading questions by the hypnotist can take the subject on quite a ride. For example, if I hypnotized you and then asked you if you were possessed by Satan, perhaps you would say yes, perhaps you would say no. But you don't know. Your imagination picks up the ball and runs with it. I would have to see the actual transcripts before I could even entertain the possibility that the author's central tenet is worth considering. And I would have to take a peek at the room, and interview the subjects to determine their preconceptions. On the face of it, this seems absurd. It reminds me of Salem, Massachussetts. Time to start burning the witches again. I believe that this book is well-intentioned but misguided superstition and fear. I strongly recommend the works of Michael Newton. He is another hypnotist. I suspect that his techniques are more pristine, less suggestive. His clients report that spirit possession is probably impossible - thousands of his clients have said they never saw any evidence of it. Not one of his clients reported one case of spirit possession. Further, his clients have never verified any contact with a Biblical character, not Lucifer, not Satan, not Beelzebub, not Beetlejuice, not Caspar the friendly ghost. Guess what - those characters are in the realm of fiction. BOO!!! Did I scare ya? This book is medieval.

Rating:  Summary: Madeleine Review: Psychiatrist Shakuntala Modi has been in private practice for more than twenty-five years. During her training and in her practice, she realized that "no single treatment worked for every patient." Despite learning various therapies, she was unable to help certain patients. She used hypnotherapy when it seemed appropriate, and one day, a patient responded in an unexpected way and regressed into a past life. While under hypnosis, the patient resolved some issues from an earlier life that had created difficulties in her present life. Dr. Modi discovered that other patients had this same ability, and she published her findings in her first book, in 1997. She has continued to work with patients, and Memories of God and Creation: Remembering from the Subconscious Mind, her third book, presents the startling results of her research. Dr. Modi and her patients learned that they can not only regress to past lives, they can regress all the way back to when the universe was first formed and they were one with God. Under hypnosis, people have described how souls were created, how angels and masters were formed, and how evil and dark entities developed. They also describe how souls, while still in Heaven, plan for their earthly lives with the help of teachers and masters. Souls reincarnate on Earth time and time again, always with the purpose of furthering their spiritual growth. Dr. Modi doesn't just tell us about all this--she includes dozens of transcripts of what people have said while under hypnosis. Although details may occasionally differ, the accounts are remarkably similar when taken as a whole. Within our subconscious is the memory all everything that has happened in the Universe from the instant it began until the present time. Memories of God and Creation "answers almost everything we always wanted to know about God and creation, that is, how it happened and why, and everything since then. It is the history of our soul." It's a history that will fascinate and enlighten readers.
Rating:  Summary: Memories of God and Creation Review: There are many books full of theories about our souls, God, how we got here, and about Creation itself. This book by Dr. Modi is a rare book with real spiritual meat in it, covering not merely theories but actual information obtained while her patients were in a deep hypnotic trance. Being a hynotherapist for years I know that much hidden truth can be accessed from the human subconscious mind. I have worked with individuals who, when asked to go back in time to whenever the problem occurred, went back to a past life trauma. I never expected to find such clarity and understanding written by a psychiatrist on past life regression as a modality for emotional and mental healing. Nor did I expect to find the subject of demonic infestation investigated. Dr. Modi has courageously asked her patients for information that I never thought to ask or believed could be found through hypnosis. The knowledge she presents is written so that it is easily comprehended and stimulating to read. Her words have given me clarity on some things that I have personally seen with my own inner sight. Her prayers and ideas at the end of the book are powerful, precise and a gift to the world. She obviously has great compassion, love and wisdom. I recommend this book to everyone who wants to stretch their mind and increase their understanding of the mysteries of life and the universe.
Rating:  Summary: Interesting Viewpoints, but Tough to Validate Review: This book offers a fresh perspective on the creation of the universe and the dichotomy between good and evil. The author used hypnosis to guide her patients through past life regressions all the way to the beginning of time. The various descriptions are basically congruent, but they are tough to validate in any meaningful sense. Having said this, I enjoyed this book because it offers an alternative viewpoint of Creation from that which I learned in the Lutheran Church. The final chapter, which offers advice on lifestyle changes that can enhance spirituality was quite interesting and I wish it were expanded. In short, the book tackles a subject that hasn't been adequately addressed in a creative and inspirational manner.
